SEN jobs in Gateshead

About sen education in Gateshead

SEN settings in Gateshead — specialist provisions and resourced units within its 112 schools and nurseries in total — book supply staff throughout the academic year. SEN demand outstrips supply locally, so staff with autism, SEMH or complex needs experience are rarely without work. Together, Gateshead's schools and nurseries educate around 28,400 children, and that scale keeps SEN cover requests coming in every week of term.

You will follow individual care and behaviour plans, help de-escalate distress and record progress against EHCP outcomes. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Low Fell, Whickham and Blaydon, so you can filter for special schools, resource bases and mainstream SEN provisions within a comfortable commute.

Many staff move from mainstream support into specialist provisions after building experience through supply. Our North East team knows these settings personally, so you get an honest picture of the school or nursery before you accept a booking, plus rates confirmed up front in the app.
